The
Business of Pleasure Certification

These courses
are most helpful for anyone seeking to create or expand a career
in the adult novelty industry as well as those in the field of
sexuality such as: sex education, home party, counseling and coaching.
What makes these courses so unique is that they focus on what
it takes to run a successful business that offers sexual products
and services.

While some
are already established and are looking to utilize the NAASAS
certification as a marketing tool; we feel that reviewing this
information will provide helpful information for even seasoned
professionals with reminders of information that can sometimes
be overlooked as the work of daily fulfillment for orders grows.
Refresher training can serve as an excellent means of helping
professionals remain up-to-date and fully informed which can be
used to optimize a company's existing solutions for enhanced services.

Working in
the field of sexuality is one of the most competitive, socially
controversial and legally precarious professions in which one
can become involved. That is why our courses will not spend time
teaching vague business strategies that will not work with an
adult based retail business.

Once courses
are successfully completed, students are provided with certification;
which demonstrates education and excellence within the field
of sexuality with relation to the adult novelty industry.

Certifications
are awarded to those who apply, study and pass the professional
exams provided. You must also adhere to our code
of ethics to become certified.

Sexual
Health and Legal certifications for businesses are encouraged
for all employees or consultants who have direct contact with
consumers or are responsible for legal and marketing aspects
within the adult novelty industry.

Employees
and consultants can be an enormous liability for companies.
NAASAS certifications assist businesses in educating their employees
/ consultants so that they may better represent the companies
of which they are affiliated
